Dont get me wrong, I have these in 20's and they are my favorite wheels but even if they didnt have curb rash, $4000 is too much.

You think? I was told it would be minimal to repair the rash marks. More than $1500 in savings over new is not enough? I guess the only thing i can do is take offers..I feel it is a fair price for this package especially with the top of line tires also that are barely used.

For comparision; another poster sold his PIAA for $2100 - 1800; 85% tread on all tires as well. That is with no curb rash as well. Hurts to say that $$ considering how much you bought these for.

If you consider dropping it to such a price range; you might have an interested buyer . Haha, Good luck with your sale.

^ Can we temp ban people who post dumb things? I mean ... this is a Canada posting. Why is someone in the US have to say "what a rip off" when things are so much more expensive in Canada?

But ... I do have to agree ... $4k for a set of used rims + tires with damage seems a bit steep, no matter what the brand.

(And based on the name of the person ... a dentist should be able to 'afford' to take a loss on rims. You already wrote it off on your taxes! And if you're not a dentist, my bad ...)

PS Please post rim specs (width, offset) along with tire specs to help people determine if the post applies to them or not.

IMO, Being local doesn't stop people from posting some questionable comments. I don't mind seeing the comparison pricing. It helps me determine if the hassle of buying sight unseen and shipping costs make the item more attractive in he US. I'd prefer local if I can get it, even if it costs a little more. Personal experience has taught me this.
4k for this set is worth it if someone thinks so and buys it. Asking what you would like to get/think is a fair price, is what the "sell" in buy and sell is all about.
Tax laws up here in Canada are tougher than in the US. We all pay for heath care and other stuff up here out of our taxes that Americans pay for individually.
Hoping this doesn't heat up this discussion as that was not my intent.
GL on your sale Smilepro, whatever your occupation is, or if you were able to write off some of the cost.

I am able to get the rims locally brand new for 2800 in Winnipeg; so there is a fair price comparison. If these come with the tires; these might be worth roughly that. But used, curb rash, even in Canada you would need to lower the price a bit more (2300-2700 would be fair).

I have made my offer; OP hasn't responded in the past week. Guess he probably doesn't want to sell it for such a loss I guess.

Whew a bit of a discussion here! Anyhow it is very fair to say that we pay significantly more in Canada for our performance passions (as well as most other things). The Toyo's alone with taxes average out to just under $2000. These tires have ZERO wear on them, literally. If I travelled 2000 kms on these tires I would have been lucky.
At a $1500 hit over what I paid (regardless of slight curb rash), this would make the tires almost a freebie.
Finally my occupation has no bearing.......a fair price is a fair price. If someone feels they can make a fair offer I would consider it. Simply put I want to sell, and am open to offers!
Cheers boys.

If you can get these wheels for that price, go there and get it.

Smilepro's price is more than fair.

I am simply stating why my offer is what it is; I am looking to see if he is open to negotiate. If I would simply say, "I am not paying anything above 2800" it would be a hard low ball on his price. Just other members have sold for much less and what the going price is new. This is a forum afterall...

I can go on; but I am thread crapping now and will see what the OP decides on.

Your PM has been replied to.
Honestly if you can get those rims locally brand new for $2800 definitely jump on it!! These wheels are about $1000 per here in Canada everwhere I looked when I purchased. My price is very fair but negotiable. Would be willing to sell the rims without tires also.....don't want to get insulted either. I want them moved but am not desperate.
